Choosing between the Poly Sync 40 and the Poly Sync 60? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Sync 40 if you want the one that is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use and runs on battery, so it moves between rooms. Pick the Sync 60 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to small rooms).
Both are Zoom certified USB speakerphones; the difference is audio and power.
